Selfishness
“I’m blessed,” a rich youth once said…
“Others I want to be fed,
Yet, to give, help, or share, I find awkward
I just keep my goods as treasured reward.”
Soon, he was found --- begging bread*.
*Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
